See that "Go Green! - Toad-ily Inspired Cards" caption on the front of this magazine? It's me. I'm "Go Green!!" I submitted a toad card to this magazine and they liked it and then we came up with an idea to do a whole bunch of toad/frog cards....and they loved and published everything I made for them!! A 6-page spread. It's almost too exciting for me!!!!!

And I have 2 copies. One for me...and one for you. Post on here with a Green-idea of your own....something you do to recycle, or a toad or frog caption/poem, or whatever. I'll pick a random post number in 2 weeks and send you this magazine, and maybe a little treat :)

My 'green' contribution...I've been trying to limit garbage packaging...like little yogurts or puddings or other such convenient (and more expensive) packaging. I buy or make bigger amounts and then put them in little 'tupperware' containers if I need to send them in lunches, etc. It also saves me taking out the garbage as often=)

I try to "think green" all the time. One thing that has helped is to purchase the grocery store reusable canvas (or poly) bags. I embroidered my name on them, and also made a set of bags for my 5 daughters with their names on them. Those bags hold so many groceries and the volume of plastic bags coming into our homes is greatly reduced. We also use these totes to take items to family dinners, etc., so having them labeled with our names is a handy feature.

My green tip: I re-use the plastic packaging from scrap supplies. I lay it over my page and stamp or write my journaling on it. this way I can move it around and find just the right spot before committing ink to paper.

Thanks to all of you who commented so far....just to clarify - the card on the front isn't mine...the caption "Go Green" is...it's referring to my spread on the inside. Sorry...just wanted to clarify so I wasn't accidentally taking credit for the beautiful cover card when it's not mine.

Huge congrats to you! That is awesome :) I'll have to check out your spread!

My family is very environmentally conscious. Here are some of the things I can think of off the top of my head: repurposing things, buying less stuff, buying things that we need second-hand, growing a garden, breastfeeding, cloth-diapering, recycling, line-drying clothes, not using heat/air very often, using energy saver light bulbs and appliances, recycling, using a water filter instead of buying bottled water, using cloth napkins and REAL plates/cups (no paper ones), buying things in bulk, etc. So many things that are more convenient than most people might think and are also easier on the pockets, KWIM :) Great topic and congrats again on the awesome pub!
